3Integrated Power Systems for Data Centers

Integrated SystemsAs the world evolves into a more digital economy, the need for critical, conditioned power has increased. And one way to ensure you have the power you need is by having a fully integrated power system that was designed to operate and work together.

Pre-configured Cat components will decrease site installation time and cost, while increasing overall system reliability. Additionally, Caterpillar tailors each component to develop a fully optimized system via attachments and performance options to meet your specific application.


blocks, large bearing areas, steel-backed aluminum alloy bearing and hardened crankshafts to provide thousands of hours of backup power without overhaul. Cat gas generators sets are fuel efficient and offer many of the same durable components found in their diesel counterparts. They feature a patented electronic ignition system and detonation-sensitive timing that effectively controls emissions.

Remote Monitoring SolutionsCaterpillar offers a variety of solutions, including24/7/365 coverage, which affords a cost effective method to ensure that issues with the power system are addressed when the need arises, reducing total maintenance time. Information can be provided in real-time from an operations center to a home office or to any other place where access to a phone, pager or internet connection is available. Everything from daily reports and trend analysis to automated alarm notifications can be received, allowing necessary action to be taken immediately. In addition, a remote monitoring and control system affords the ability to start and test power system equipment without being on-site.

Cat Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)Continuously conditions power and regulates voltage from the source and provides ride-through power to bring the generator set online.

*Caterpillar offers both UL and IEC approved products.

Integrated Solutions


Generator SetsCat Engines and Generators are designed specifically to provide reliable power while remaining rugged and reliable to run in the world’s harshest environments.

Caterpillar is a leader in the manufacture of diesel generator sets and mission critical applications with more than 450,000 kW installed in data centers and hospitals in a single year. Caterpillar offers a range of high speed product from 14 kW to 3000kW. Caterpillar engineering programs demand some of the most stringent testing requirements in the industry prior to introducing new products in the market place.

Caterpillar is also a leader in developing cleaner and more efficient gensets to meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements established by the EPA. Caterpillar has focused on optimized engine performance plus a tailored aftertreatment system to achieve lower emission levels resulting in a more cost-effective solution for our customers. Our systems are completely integrated from the Engine, Generator Set, Uninterruptible Power Supply, Switchgear, and Automatic Transfer Switch, which provides a seamless solution for all your power needs.

SmallfootprintwithnoaddedfloorspacerequiredforHVAC,temperaturecontrolor ventilation equipment

• 98% total flywheel system efficiency

The Cat UPS with flywheel energy storage offers numerous advantages over traditional battery based UPS systems, providing lower operating costs over the life of the unit. The Cat system offers less than half the life cycle cost of any battery-based unit.

Generator Set Start ModuleBy working with existing UPS power sources, the Cat Generator Set Start Module (GSSM)substantiallyincreasesthereliabilityofbatterypoweras:

• Voltage is not a true indication of cranking current• Environmental exposure reduces battery life• Battery maintenance is often neglected• Batteries offer inadequate remote monitoring capabilities

By providing redundant starting power directly from the UPS output, the GSSM ensures continuous uninterrupted power to critical loads, no matter what type or duration of your power loss. With a Cat Generator Set Start Module, you’ll have increased confidence in your back-up power’s ability to start time after time.


Containerized Data Center SolutionsWhether a pre-fabricated or custom specified design, Caterpillar can assist you with allof your power needs. Containerization results in a modular, conveniently transported power system package. The modular design allows for rapid installation and commissioning on site and features a smaller footprint than that afforded by more traditional power generating systems.
